Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the joint effigies of King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Elizabeth I of Castile, who ruled together as co-monarchs of Spain during the Catholic Monarchs era. This coin was minted during their reign, which lasted from 1497 to 1566, and it highlights the unity and strength of their partnership.
